The tomato has curious history.
Native of South America, like the po-
tato, it is said to have been introduced
into England as early as 1896. Many
years elapsed before it was used as
food, and the botanical name gwen to
it was significant Of the estimation in
which it was held by our forefathers.
1t was called Lycopersicum-a COM
pound term meaning wolf and peach,
indicating that, Notwithstanding its
beauty, it was regarded as sort of
Dead Sea fruit. The Italians first
dared use it freely, the French followed
and after eying it askance as novelty
for unknown years, John Bull ventured
to taste, and having survived, began to
eat with increasing gusto. To our
grandmothers in this land the ruby
fruit was given as "love-apples," and
adjoining quaint old bureaus, were de-
voured by dreamy eyes long before
canning factories were within the ken
of even Yankees vision. Now, to-
matees vie with the potato as a general
article of food, and one can scarcely
visit quarter of the globe so remote
but he will find that the tomato can
has been there before him. Its culture
is SO easy that one year / had bushels
of the finest fruit from plants that grew
here and there by chance. Skill is re-
quired only in producing an early crop,
and to secure this end the earlier the
plants are started in the spring the
better. Those who have glass will ex-
perience no difficulty whatever. The
seed may be sown IN greenhouse
as early as January, and the plants
ported when three inches high, trans
fnrred to larger pots from time to time
as they grow, and by the middle Of
May put into the open ground, full of
blossoms and immature fruit. Indeed,
plants started early in the fau will give
in greenhouse good supply all win
ter. They also grow readily in hot
beds, cold frames, and sunny windows.
We usually can buy wellforwarded
plants from those who raise them for
sale II these plants are set out early
in May ON sunny slope they mature
rapidly and give an early yield. The
tomato is very sensitive to frost, and
should not be in the open ground be-
fore danger from it is over. Through
out May we find plants for sale every
where. If we desire to try distinct
kinds with the least trouble, We can
SOW the seed about May and in our
climate enjoy an abundant yield in Sep
TENDER or before. In the cool, humid
climate of England the tomato is usual
ly grown en- espalier, like the peach,
along sunny walls and fences, receiving
as careful summer pruning as the
grape vine. With us they are usually
lett to sprawl over the ground at will
BY training the vines over various
kinds of supports, however, they can
be made as ornamental as they are USE
full The ground on which they grow
should be only moderately fertile, or
else there is too great growth of vine
at the expense Of fruit. This is espe-
cially true if we wish an early yield,
and in that case the warmest, driest
soil is necessarily. z. Roe, IN Hor-
per'S Magazine.

Ettrick, and be her sons wife.
AS it was, she could only sigh and con-
sent. Perhaps you are right, dear, she
said, very sadly, "there are some situations
which are only to be met by fight. l will
! make arrangements that you shall stay III
London for the present.
@And | need not come down to- night"
said Lefty, TREMENDOUSLY.
NO, you may stay upstairs. Milly shall
stay with you You had rather not? Then
you shall stay alone. l will come up and
see you after dinner"
Slowly and sadly Lefty went up to her
own room. She had done it for the best;
because. under this new and strange stress
of feeling that had come to her, she could not
trust herself; bnt no one knew, no one who
had not once felt as she had felt could
imagine, what the sacrifice of that evening
meant to her. When, having locked the
door, to shut out intruders, she threw her.
self upon her bed in the darkness, IT
seemed to her as if the rest were nothing.
The leaving of her home, the separation
from her friends, the looking forward to
long years of loneliness, all this she could
bear; but to go away without once looking
into his face, without thanking him for his
love to her, without telling him that
though she must leave the place where she
had the unspeakable happiness of seeing
his face, she would never, never forget him
- this was almost more than her gentle
heart could endure.
She wept until her heavy eyelids fell.
But she could not sleep long. Lady Flora
was at the door of her room, and Milly,
looking curious and anxious, was with her,
and she had to shake Off her languer, and
prepare for her journey to London.

Concerning MeteOrS.

|. The luminous meteor tracks are
in the upper part of the earth's atmos-
phere. Few, if any, appear at a height
greater than 100 miles, and few are
seen below a height of 30 miles from
where stones and iron fall to the
ground. All these meteor tracks are
caused by bodies which come into the
air from above.
,. The velocities of the meteors in
the ar are comparable with that of the
earth in its orbit about the sun. It is
not easy to determine the exact values
of those velocities, yet they may be
roughly stated as from % to $50 times
the velocity of sound in the air Or of a
cannon ball.
j. 1t Is necessary consequence OF
these velocities that the meteors move
about the sun and not about the earth
as the controlling body.
4. There are four comets related to
four periodic star-showers that come on
the dates Of April 20, August 10, No
veinber IA. and November n. The me-
teoroids which have given us any one
of these star-showers constitute group
each individual of which moves in a
path which is like that of the cores
ponding comet The bodies are, how
ever, now too far from one another to
influence appreciably each others mo-
tons.
). The ordinary shooting stars in
their appearance and phenomena do not
differ essentially from the individuals
in star-showers.
6. The meteorites Of different falls
differ from one another in their chemi-
cal composition. in their mineral forms,
and in their tenacity. Yes through all
these differences they have peculiar
common properties which distinguish
them entirely from all terrestrial
rocks.
7. The most delicate researches have
failed to detect any trace of organic
life in meteorites.
These propositions have practically
universal acceptance among scientific
men. - Nature.

GENTLE society centers in the

Mormon families have less difficulty in
tins respect, as they have the first
choice OF the foreign element, and
women servants are doubtless infiu-
enced by the hope of promotion.
Mormon women of the better class
are delicate and refined-looking. MANY
of them are highly educated and ac-

highly esteemed. All classes are fond

entertainments are held in great favor.

Militia and Mods,

In most riots the neglect of q few
simple principles, by both civil and mil
ltary authorities, has caused most of the
bloodshed. The militia should be as
sembled promptly. If this is delayed,
their armories may be surrounded and
their assemDlage prevented. Besides,
the knowledge that troops are in readi-
ness strengthens the police and intimi-
dates the mob They should not be
paraded until the last moment. The
bayonet and rifle are deadly weapons,
and not suited for mere police work.
But as soon as there is danger of the
police being overpowered, the militia
should march to their aid, and then all
sentlmentality should be dispensed
with. A mob is gang of law-break-
ers, with the criminal class coming to
the top as it gains power; and the very
existence of society depends upon its
being promptly put down. Halfway
measures are cruelty Any militia Off
Ger who permits his men to be shot or
stoned without resistance deserves q
court martial. \ mob never appreciates
forbearance. Blank cartridges simply
inspire them to fresh assaults. Firing
in the air has the same effect, besides
killing innocent people at a distance.
Nolieys are seldom necessary. To de-
tail few shGrp-shooters is far prefera-
BILE. If the thrower OF the first brick is
shot as a rule, no more will be thrown.
Four shots at Cincinnati which killed
four leaders dispersed the mob that
attacked Powells gun-store. The same
number fired with like effect would
have scattered that which attacked the
jail, If they had been the first which
had been fred by the troops. IT must
be remembered that no troops VIII stand
being stoned or being shot at without fir
ing in return. If the officers wait too long
as was the case IN the Orange riots IN
New York; some one is sure to fire
without orders, bringing on general
fire which unnecessarily destroys many
lives The troops should not allow
themselves to be besieged. Strong de-
tachments should traverse the streets,
aiding the police in dispensing all
crowds and in clearing the streets.
The mob, when once broken, Will never
again collect If the militia are strong
and well disciplined, and it is under
stood distinctly that they will permit
no trihing, their mere appearance is
usually sufficient. If their condition is
such that the mob do not fear them,
many lives have to be sacrificed before
pesce can be restored - Ce71t1iT'u
